Important Notices

Do not attempt to install the system alone. General Electric, Affiliate, or Distributor Field Engineers and Application Specialists will install and setup the system. See ‘Contact Information’ on page 3-24 for more information.

NOTICE This medical equipment is approved, in terms of the prevention of radio wave interference, to be used in hospitals, clinics and other institutions which are environmentally qualified. The use of this equipment in an inappropriate environment may cause some electronic interference to radios and televisions around the equipment.

Ensure that the following is provided for the new system:

• A separate power outlet with a 6 amp circuit breaker for 220-240 VAC or a 10 amp circuit breaker for 100-120 VAC.

• Take precautions to ensure that the console is protected from electromagnetic interference.

Precautions include: • Operate the console at least 15 feet away from motors,

typewriters, elevators, and other sources of strong electromagnetic radiation.

• Operation in an enclosed area (wood, plaster or concrete walls, floors and ceilings) helps prevent electromagnetic interference.

• Special shielding may be required if the console is to be operated in the vicinity of radio broadcast equipment.

WARNING To avoid risk of fire, the system power must be supplied from a separate, properly rated outlet.

CAUTION Do not push objects into air vents and openings of LOGIQ e. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

CAUTION For compatibility reasons, use only GE approved probes, peripherals or accessories.

DO NOT connect any probes or accessories without approval by GE.

Getting Started


Battery

The lithium ion battery provides power when an AC power source is not available. A battery in the battery bay is standard with the LOGIQ e. Lithium ion batteries last longer than conventional batteries and do not require replacement as often. You can expect one hour of battery life while scanning with a single fully charged battery.

The lithium ion technology used in your system’s battery is significantly less hazardous to the environment than the lithium metal technology used in some other batteries (such as watch batteries). Used batteries should not be placed with common household waste products. Contact local authorities for the location of a chemical waste collection program nearest you.

NOTE: The battery is designed to work with LOGIQ e systems only. Only use the batteries authorized by GE.

WARNING • The battery has a safety device. Do not disassemble or alter the battery.

• Charge the batteries only when the ambient temperature is between 0 and 40 degrees C (32 and 104 degrees F) and discharge the batteries between 0 and 40 degrees C (32 and 104 degrees F).

• Do not short-circuit the battery by directly connecting the negative terminals with metal objects.

• Do not heat the battery or discard it in a fire.• Do not expose the battery to temperature over

50 degrees C (122 degrees F). Keep it away from fire and other heat sources.

• Do not charge the battery near a heat source, such as a fire or heater.

• Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight.• Do not pierce the battery with a sharp object, hit it, or step

on it.• Do not use a damaged battery.• Do not solder a battery.• Do not connect the battery to an electrical power outlet.

Console Overview


Battery (continued)

WARNING If the LOGIQ e is not being used on a monthly basis, the battery needs to be removed during the lengthy non-use period.

CAUTION To avoid the battery bursting, igniting, or fumes from the battery causing equipment damage, observe the following precautions:

• Do not immerse the battery in water or allow it to get wet.• Do not put the battery into a microwave oven or

pressurized container.• If the battery leaks or emits an odor, remove it from all

possible flammable sources.• If the battery emits an odor or heat, is deformed or

discolored, or in a way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it and stop using it. If you have any questions about the battery, consult GE or your local representative.

• Short term (less than one month) storage of battery pack:• Store the battery in a temperature range between

0 degrees C (32 degrees F) and 50 degrees C (122 degrees F).

Getting Started


Battery (continued)

CAUTION • Long term (3 months or more) storage of battery pack:• Store the battery in a temperature range between

-20 degrees C (-4 degrees F) and 45 degrees C (113 degrees F)

• Upon receipt of the LOGIQ e and before first time usage, it is highly recommended that the customer performs one full discharge/charge cycle.NOTE: A full discharge/charge cycle means the system is turned on using battery power until the battery loses its charge completely and the system shuts down. Plug the LOGIQ e in until the battery is fully charged as indicated by a green LCD light.If the battery has not been used for >2 months, the customer is recommended to perform one full discharge/charge cycle. It is also recommended to store the battery in a shady and cool area with FCC (full current capacity).

• One Full Discharge/Charge Cycle Process:1. Full discharge of battery to let the LOGIQ e automatically shut down.2. Charge the LOGIQ e to 100% FCC (full current capacity).3. Discharge of LOGIQ e for complete shut down (takes one hour for discharge).

• When storing packs for more than 6 months, charge the pack at least once during the 6 month timeframe to prevent leakage and deterioration in performance.

• Use only GE recognized batteries.

Battery (continued)

Battery power lowwarning

If the battery is in use and the battery power is low, a warning message appears to warn the user that the battery power is low and that it needs to be charged.

Figure 1-5. Low battery power warning

NOTE: When the battery power is low and the user cannot charge the battery in time, the system automatically shuts down in 2 minutes. This protects the whole system. You need to save all unsaved data before the system shuts down or you may lose useful information.

AC Adapter

CAUTION Do not use an AC adapter without approval by GE.

Be sure that nothing rests on the AC adapter’s power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.

Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk, when you use it to run LOGIQ e. Do not cover the AC adapter with paper or other items that will reduce cooling; do not use the AC adapter inside a carrying case.

To prevent damage to the power cable of the AC adapter, DO NOT pull excessively on the cable; DO NOT make any sharp bends; DO NOT bend the power cable frequently.

Performing an Exam


Optimizing the Image

B-Mode Controls

Table 2-1: B-Mode Controls

ControlPossible Bioeffect Description/Benefit

Depth Yes Depth controls the distance over which the B-Mode images anatomy. To visualize deeper structures, increase the depth. If there is a large part of the display which is unused at the bottom, decrease the depth.

Gain No B-Mode Gain increases or decreases the amount of echo information displayed in an image. It may have the effect of brightening or darkening the image if sufficient echo information is generated.

Focus Yes Increases the number of focal zones or moves the focal zone(s) so that you can tighten up the beam for a specific area. A graphic caret corresponding to the focal zone position(s) appears on the right edge of the image.

Auto Optimize No Auto lets you optimize the image based upon the actual B-Mode image data (Auto Tissue Optimize, ATO). The preset levels (Low, Medium, and High) allow you to pick a preference for the contrast enhancement in the resulting image. Low does the least amount of contrast enhancement, high does the most.Auto is available in single or multi image, on live, frozen or CINE images (in B-Mode only), and while in zoom, in Color Flow Mode, and in Spectral Doppler. Auto in Color Flow Mode automatically adjusts the overall color gain. Auto in PW Doppler Mode optimizes the spectral data. Auto adjusts the Velocity Scale/PRF (live image only), baseline shift, dynamic range, and invert (if preset). Upon deactivation, the spectrum is still optimized. The benefit of Auto can be found in reduced optimization time and a more consistent and accurate optimization process.

M/D Cursor No Displays the Doppler Mode cursor on the B-Mode image.

Harmonics Yes Harmonics enhances near field resolution for improved small parts imaging as well as far field penetration.

Frequency Yes Multi Frequency mode lets you downshift to the probe's next lower frequency or shift up to a higher frequency.



CrossXBeam Yes CrossXBeam is the process of combining three or more frames from different steering angles into a single frame. The combined single image has the benefits of reduced speckle noise, reduced clutter, and continuity of specular reflectors. Therefore, this technique can improve contrast resolution with increased conspicuity of low contrast lesions, better detection of calcifications, biopsy needle visualization, and cystic boundary definition.

TGC No TGC amplifies returning signals to correct for the attenuation caused by tissues at increasing depths. TGC slide pots are spaced proportionately to the depth. The area each pot amplifies varies as well. A TGC curve may appear on the display (if preset), matching the controls that you have set (except during zoom). You can choose to deactivate the TGC curve on the image.

Scan Area Yes You can widen or narrow the size of the sector angle to maximize the image's region of interest (ROI).

Tilt Yes You can steer the sector angle to get more information without moving the probe while in B-Mode, M-Mode, Doppler Mode, and Color Flow Mode. Tilt is not available on Linear probes.

Angle Steer Yes You can steer the PW Doppler or Color Flow sector angle to get more information without moving the probe.

Reverse No Flips the image 180 degrees left/right.

Dynamic Range (Compression)

No Dynamic Range controls how echo intensities are converted to shades of gray, thereby increasing the adjustable range of contrast. The Dynamic Range control name changes to Compression on frozen images.

Line Density Yes Optimizes B-Mode frame rate or spatial resolution for the best possible image.

Map No The system supplies B, M, and Doppler Mode system maps.

Frame Average No Temporal filter that averages frames together, thereby using more pixels to make up one image. This has the effect of presenting a smoother, softer image.

Colorize No Colorize is the colorization of a conventional B-Mode image or Doppler Spectrum to enhance the user's ability to discern B, M, and Doppler Mode intensity valuations. Colorize is NOT a Doppler Mode. Colorizes the gray scale image to enhance the eye’s discrimination capability.Spectrum Colorize colorizes the spectrum as a function of power using the inverse of the Colorize map for the signal intensity in each Doppler line. Colorize enhances the visibility of the spectrum's characteristics and enhances your ability to identify spectral broadening and the edge contours of the spectrum used to define the peak frequency/velocity.

Table 2-1: B-Mode Controls (Continued)


Performing an Exam


M-Mode Controls

Edge Enhance No Edge Enhance brings out subtle tissue differences and boundaries by enhancing the gray scale differences corresponding to the edges of structures. Adjustments to M-Mode's edge enhancement affects the M-Mode only.

Rotation No Flips the image 180 degrees up/down.CAUTION: When reading an rotated image, be careful to observe the probe orientation to avoid possible confusion over scan direction or left/right image reversal.

Virtual Convex Yes On Linear probes, Virtual Convex provides a larger field of view in the far field.

SRI HD No SRI HD (Speckle Reduction Imaging High Definition) is an adaptive algorithm to reduce the unwanted effects of speckle in the ultrasound image.

B Softener No Affects the amount of lateral smoothing. It’s similar to dynamic range by softening the appearance/edges of the image.

Virtual Apex Yes On sector probes, Virtual Apex provides a larger field of view in the far field.

Range Focus Yes Improves the near/mid field image quality, borders/interfaces, increases contrast and detail resolution across the image and allows for less filling in the vessels.

CenterLine No The centerline of the image, for 12L-RS only.

B Steer+ Yes Slants the B-Mode or Color Flow linear image left/right to get more information without moving the probe. The anglesteer function only applies to linear probes.

Rejection No Selects a level below which echoes will not be amplified (an echo must have a certain minimum amplitude before it will be processed).

Table 2-1: B-Mode Controls (Continued)


Table 2-2: M-Mode Controls


Sweep Speed Yes Changes the speed at which the timeline is swept. Available in M-Mode, Doppler Mode and M Color Flow Mode.

Anatomical M-Mode Yes Anatomical M-Mode gives you the ability to manipulate the cursor at different angles and positions. The M-Mode display changes according to the position of the cursor.



Color Flow Mode Controls

Table 2-3: Color Flow Mode Controls


Gain No Gain amplifies the overall strength of echoes processed in the Color Flow window or spectral Doppler timeline.

PRF (Pulse Repetition Frequency)

Yes Increases/decreases the PRF on the color bar.

Wall Filter No Filters out low flow velocity signals. It helps get rid of motion artifacts caused from breathing and other patient motion.

Color Scan Area Yes Scan Area sizes and positions the color window.

Invert (Color Invert) No Lets you view blood flow from a different perspective, e.g., red away (negative velocities) and blue toward (positive velocities). You can invert a real-time or frozen image. NOTE: Invert reverses the color map, NOT the color PRF.

Baseline No Changes the Color Flow or Doppler spectrum baseline to accommodate higher velocity blood flow. Minimizes aliasing by displaying a greater range of forward flow with respect to reverse flow, or vice versa. Baseline adjusts the alias point. The default baseline is at the midpoint of the color display and at the midpoint of the color bar reference display.

Angle Steer Yes You can slant the ROI of the Color Flow linear image left or right to get more information without moving the probe. The Angle Steer function only applies to linear probes.

Color Flow Line Density

Yes Optimizes the Color Flow frame rate or spatial resolution for the best possible color image.

Map No Allows you to select a specific color map. After you have made your selection, the color bar displays the resultant map.

Threshold No Threshold assigns the gray scale level at which color information stops.

Frame Average No Averages color frames.

Transparency Map No Brings out the tissue behind the color map.

Spatial Filter No Smooths out the color, makes it look less pixely.

Performing an Exam


Packet Size Yes Controls the number of samples gathered for a single color flow vector.

Power Doppler Imaging (PDI)

No Power Doppler Imaging (PDI) is a color flow mapping technique used to map the strength of the Doppler signal coming from the tissue rather than the frequency shift of the signal. Using this technique, the ultrasound system plots color flow based on the number of reflectors that are moving, regardless of their velocity. PDI does not map velocity, therefore it is not subject to aliasing.

M Color Flow Mode Yes M Color Flow is used for fetal cardiac applications. Color Flow overlays color on the M-Mode image using velocity and variance color maps. The Color Flow wedge overlays the B-Mode image and M-Mode timeline.The Color Flow maps available in M-Mode are the same as in Color Flow Mode. The size and position of the Color Flow window in B-Mode determines the size and position of the Color Flow window in M-Mode. All M-Mode measurements are available with M Color Flow active: depth, distance along a straight line, % stenosis, volume, trace, circumference, enclosed area, distance, time, slope, and heart rate.

Table 2-3: Color Flow Mode Controls (Continued)




Doppler Mode Controls

Table 2-4: Doppler Mode Controls


B Pause Yes Toggles between simultaneous and update presentation while viewing the timeline.

Doppler sample volume gate position (Trackball)

Yes Moves the sample volume gate on the B-Mode's Doppler Mode cursor. The gate is positioned over a specific position within the vessel.

Doppler sample volume length

Yes Sizes the sample volume gate.

PRF Yes Adjusts the velocity scale to accommodate faster/slower blood flow velocities. Velocity scale determines pulse repetition frequency.If the sample volume gate range exceeds single gate PRF capability, the system automatically switches to high PRF mode. Multiple gates appear, and HPRF is indicated on the display.

Angle Correct No Estimates the flow velocity in a direction at an angle to the Doppler vector by computing the angle between the Doppler vector and the flow to be measured. NOTE: When the Doppler Mode Cursor and angle correct indicator are aligned (the angle is O), you cannot see the angle correct indicator.

Quick Angle No Quickly adjusts the angle by 60 degrees.

Wall Filter No Insulates the Doppler signal from excessive noise caused from vessel movement.

Baseline No Adjusts the baseline to accommodate faster or slower blood flows to eliminate aliasing.

M/D Cursor No Displays the Doppler Mode cursor on the B-Mode image.

Audio Volume No Controls audio output.

Invert No Vertically inverts the spectral trace without affecting the baseline position.

Dynamic Range No Dynamic range controls how echo intensities are converted to shades of gray, thereby increasing the range of contrast you can adjust.

Spectral Trace (Trace Method)

No Traces the average mean and peak velocities in realtime or frozen images.

Trace Sensitivity No Adjust the trace to follow the waveform for signal strength.

Cycles to Average No The average value over a number of cycles (from 1-5).

Trace Direction No Specifies trace direction.

Performing an Exam


Full Timeline No Expands display to full timeline display.

Display Format No Changes the horizontal/vertical layout between B-Mode and M-Mode, or timeline only.

Duplex/Triplex No Duplex allows two modes to be active at the same time (B+PW or B+CW or B+CF); Triplex allows three modes to be active at the same time (C+PW+CF or B+CW+CF). When Duplex/Triplex is OFF, either the image or timeline is active. B Pause then switches the activce side between image and the timeline.With Duplex/Triplex active, M/D Cursor functions the same as the Duplex/Triplex control by cycling Duplex/Triplex on/off. B-Pause pauses the image while keeping the CW / PW timeline active.

Time Resolution No Adjusts image appearance so that if you select a lower setting, the image appears smoother; if you select a higher setting, the image appears sharper.

Spectral Average No Averages the spectrum in a vertical direction and timeline direction.

Modify Auto Calcs No Activates the menu to select which calculations are automatically calculated.

Auto Calcs No Activates the calculation automatically which you select in the Modify Auto Calculation when the system is in a state of freeze or live.

Continuous Wave Doppler (CWD)

No Allows examination of blood flow data all along the Doppler Mode cursor rather than from any specific depth. Gather samples along the entire Doppler beam for rapid scanning of the heart. Range gated CW allows information to be gathered at higher velocities.

Probe Overview, System Presets, DataBackup, Configuring Connectivity, Electronic Documentation and System Care and Maintenance



Probe Overview

Probe handling and infection control

This information is intended to increase user awareness of the risks of disease transmission associated with using this equipment and provide guidance in making decisions directly affecting the safety of the patient as well as the equipment user.

Diagnostic ultrasound systems utilize ultrasound energy that must be coupled to the patient by direct physical contact. Depending on the type of examination, this contact occurs with a variety of tissues ranging from intact skin in a routine exam to recirculating blood in a surgical procedure. The level of risk of infection varies greatly with the type of contact.

One of the most effective ways to prevent transmission between patients is with single use or disposable devices. However, ultrasound transducers are complex and expensive devices that must be reused between patients. It is very important, therefore, to minimize the risk of disease transmission by using barriers and through proper processing between patients.

CAUTION Risk of Infection. ALWAYS clean and disinfect the probe between patients to the level appropriate for the type of examination and use FDA-cleared probe sheaths where appropriate. See ‘Supplies/Accessories’ on page 3-33 for ordering information.

CAUTION Adequate cleaning and disinfection are necessary to prevent disease transmission. It is the responsibility of the equipment user to verify and maintain the effectiveness of the infection control procedures in use. Always use sterile, legally marketed probe sheaths for intra-cavitary and intra-operative procedures.

For neurological intra-operative procedures, use of a legally marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe sheath is REQUIRED. Probes for neuro surgical use must not be sterilized with liquid chemical sterilants because of the possibility of neuro toxic residues remaining on the probe.

Probe Overview


Endocavitary Probe Handling Precautions

If the sterilization solution comes out of the endocavitary probe, please follow the cautions below.

CAUTION Sterile/sanitary sheaths are to be used on the probe during its actual use with patients. Wearing gloves protects the patient and operator.

CAUTION Sterilant Exposure to Patient (e.g., Cidex)—Contact with a sterilant to the patient’s skin or mucous membrane may cause an inflammation. If this happens, refer to the sterilant’s instruction manual.

Sterilant Exposure from Probe Handle to Patient (e.g., Cidex)—DO NOT allow the sterilant to contact the patient. Only immerse the probe to its specified level. Ensure that no solution has entered the probe’s handle before scanning the patient. If sterilant comes into contact with the patient, refer the the sterilant’s instruction manual.

Sterilant Exposure from Probe Connector to Patient (e.g., Cidex)—DO NOT allow the sterilant to contact the patient. Only immerse the probe to its specified level. Ensure that no solution has entered the probe’s connector before scanning the patient. If sterilant comes into contact with the patient, refer the the sterilant’s instruction manual.

Endocavitary Probe Point of Contact—Refer to the sterilant’s instruction manual.



Probe Cleaning Process

Cleaning probes

Perform After Each Use

To clean the probe:

1. Disconnect the probe from the ultrasound console and remove all coupling gel from the probe by wiping with a soft cloth and rinsing with flowing water.

2. Wash the probe with mild soap in lukewarm water. Scrub the probe as needed using a soft sponge, gauze, or cloth to remove all visible residue from the probe surface. Prolonged soaking or scrubbing with a soft bristle brush (such as a toothbrush) may be necessary if material has dried onto the probe surface.

3. Rinse the probe with enough clean potable water to remove all visible soap residue.

4. Air dry or dry with a soft cloth.

CAUTION Take extra care when handling the lens face of the Ultrasound transducer. The lens face is especially sensitive and can easily be damaged by rough handling. NEVER use excessive force when cleaning the lens face.

Disinfecting probes

Perform After Each Use

Ultrasound probes can be disinfected using liquid chemical germicides. The level of disinfection is directly related to the duration of contact with the germicide. Increased contact time produces a higher level of disinfection.

Table 3-1: Description of Pictogram on Care card

Pictogram Description

“ATTENTION” - Consult accompanying documents” is intended to alert the user to refer to the operator manual or other instructions when complete information cannot be provided on the label.

“CAUTION” - Dangerous voltage” (the lightning flash with arrowhead) is used to indicate electric shock hazards.

Biohazard - Patient/user infection due to contaminated equipment.Usage• Cleaning and care instructions• Sheath and glove guidelines

Ultrasound probes are highly sensitive medical instruments that can easily be damaged by improper handling. Use care when handling and protect from damage when not in use.

Do not immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level specified for that probe. Refer to the user manual of the ultrasound system.

Since there is a possibility of having negative effects on the probe, observe the specified immersing time by the germicide manufacturer strictly. Do not immerse the probe in liquid chemical germicides more than the time prescribed in the care card.

Probe Overview


Disinfecting probes (continued)

Cidex Plus has been approved for all probes available on the LOGIQ e.

Pera Safe high level disinfectant has been approved for the E8C-RS, 8C-RS and 12L-RS probes.

T-spray low-level disinfectant has been approved for the E8C-RS, 8C-RS, 12L-RS, 3S-RS and 8L-RS probes. T-Spray II has been approved for all the probes available on the LOGIQ e except 6Tc-RS.

CAUTION Review the probe care card that is packed with each probe. The following website contains the most current and up-to-date recommendations:

http://www.gehealthcare.com/usen/ultrasound/products/probe_care.html




1. Prepare the germicide solution according to the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to follow all precautions for storage, use and disposal.

2. Place the cleaned and dried probe in contact with the germicide for the time specified by the germicide manufacturer. High-level disinfection is recommended for surface probes and is required for endocavitary and intraoperative probes (follow the germicide manufacturer's recommended time).

3. After removing from the germicide, rinse the probe following the germicide manufacturer's rinsing instructions. Flush all visible germicide residue from the probe and allow to air dry.

CAUTION In order for liquid chemical germicides to be effective, all visible residue must be removed during the cleaning process. Thoroughly clean the probe, as described earlier before attempting disinfection.

You MUST disconnect the probe from the LOGIQ e prior to cleaning/disinfecting the probe. Failure to do so could damage the system.

DO NOT soak probes in liquid chemical germicide for longer than is stated by the germicide instructions for use. Extended soaking may cause probe damage and early failure of the enclosure, resulting in possible electric shock hazard.

CAUTION Probes for neuro surgical intra-operative use must NOT be sterilized with liquid chemical sterilants because of the possibility of neuro toxic residues remaining on the probe. Neurological procedures must be done with the use of legally marketed, sterile, pyrogen free probe sheaths.

Probe Overview

Safety


Acoustic Output

Located on the upper right section of the system display monitor, the acoustic output display provides the operator with real-time indication of acoustic levels being generated by the system. See the Acoustic Output chapter in the Advanced Reference Manual for more information. This display is based on NEMA/AIUM Standards for Real-time Display of Thermal and Mechanic Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment.

Acoustic Output Display Specifications

The display consists of three parts: Thermal Index (TI), Mechanical Index (MI), and a relative Acoustic Output (AO) value. Although not part of the NEMA/AIUM standard, the AO value informs the user of where the system is operating within the range of available output.

The TI and MI are displayed at all times. The TI display starts at a value of 0.0 and increments in steps of 0.1 The MI display values between 0 and 0.4 increment in steps of 0.01 and for values greater than 0.4, increments in steps of 0.1.

Thermal Index Depending on the examination and type of tissue involved, the TI parameter will be one of three types:

• Soft Tissue Thermal Index (TIS). Used when imaging soft tissue only, it provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in soft tissue.

• Bone Thermal Index (TIB). Used when bone is near the focus of the image as in the third trimester OB examination, it provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in the bone or adjacent soft tissue.

• Cranial Bone Thermal Index (TIC). Used when bone is near the skin surface as in transcranial examination, it provides an estimate of potential temperature increase in the bone or adjacent soft tissue.

Safety Precautions


Acoustic Output Display Specifications (continued)

Mechanical Index MI recognizes the importance of non-thermal processes, cavitation in particular, and the Index is an attempt to indicate the probability that they might occur within the tissue.

Changing theThermal Index

Type

You can select the displayed TI type on Utility -> Imaging -> B-Mode. This preset is application dependent so each application could specify a different TI type.

Display precision is ±0.1 and accuracy is ±50%. Accuracy of the power output displayed value on the Top/Sub Menu is ±2% in B- and M-Modes and ±10% in all other modes.

Controls Affecting Acoustic Output

The potential for producing mechanical bioeffects (MI) or thermal bioeffects (TI) can be influenced by certain controls.

Direct. The Acoustic Output control has the most significant effect on Acoustic Output.

Indirect. Indirect effects may occur when adjusting controls. Controls that can influence MI and TI are detailed under the Bioeffects portion of each control in the Optimizing the Image chapter.

Always observe the Acoustic Output display for possible effects.

Safety


Best practices while scanning

NOTE: Refer to the sections in Chapter 5 for a complete discussion of each control.

Acoustic Output Default Levels

In order to assure that an exam does not start at a high output level, the LOGIQ e initiates scanning at a reduced default output level. This reduced level is preset programmable and depends upon the exam category and probe selected. It takes effect when the system is powered on or New Patient is selected.

To modify acoustic output, adjust the Power Output level on the Top/Sub Menu.

HINTS Raise the Acoustic Output only after attempting image optimization with controls that have no effect on Acoustic Output, such as Gain and TGC.

WARNING Be sure to have read and understood control explanations for each mode used before attempting to adjust the Acoustic Output control or any control that can effect Acoustic Output.

AcousticOutputHazard

Use the minimum necessary acoustic output to get the best diagnostic image or measurement during an examination. Begin the exam with the probe that provides an optimum focal depth and penetration.

Power Doppler Imaging (PDI) Mode

Intended Uses

Power Doppler Imaging (PDI) is a color flow mapping technique used to map the strength of the Doppler signal coming from the flow rather than the frequency shift of the signal. Using this technique, the ultrasound system plots color flow based on the number of reflectors that are moving, regardless of their velocity. PDI does not map velocity, therefore it is not subject to aliasing.
